Re: closing a home

You are ultimately responsible for a Second Mortgage if not paid at closing. Check the HUD Statement to make sure the Second Mortgage was being paid out of closing and if it wasn't, then the problem will be the Title Company's. As to the other question, it depends on whether this was disclosed to you.
